Are you thinking of selling your home? You should know exactly what it's really worth before making such an important decision.
Let us do a real "Market Analysis" for you. Just going to Zillow and looking at a few "comps" you can find on the internet isn't going to establish the correct highest price at which you can sell your home.
Also known as a CMA, this analysis compares your home to others that are currently on the market and to those that have recently sold. But this technique - which WAS quite workable in the kinds of markets we have had in the past - isn't going to establish the right price for the market we have today. To establish the correct price in the market that currently exists it is necessary to first do a supply - demand analysis. How many are on the market vs. how many have sold in the past six months? Once armed with this data it is then possible to look at the RATE at which the prices are rising and make logical assumptions on how high the price can be set without "fishing with your bait out of water".
As the top selling agents in the area, we correctly determine the value of valley area homes daily. Using the information you provide below, we can perform a quick market analysis, and give you a free estimate of what your home is worth in today's market.
Market conditions can be very different, even from one neighborhood to the next. We know how to take all these factors into account when determining the true market value of your home. All real estate parcels in Maricopa County have a number system that is BOOK - MAP - PARCEL. The first three numbers are the "book". The next two numbers are the "map" and the last three numbers are the "parcel". One of the vital pieces of technology we employ to achieve real effectiveness is insisting on using the BOOK map prior to looking at the individual sections or neighborhoods. Computer analysis done by news reporting agencies (newspapers and TV stations) tend to either do their analysis by an entire zip code (comparing one entire zip code to another) or to only zoom in on a specific house in a neighborhood. Although this technique sometimes does allow one to get an idea of prices it is just as likely to produce a completely wrong answer.
For example, a Phoenix location, 4830 E Mulberry (tax # 128-14-013) - is Book 128, Map 14 and Parcel 013. That entire number identifies the property. Looking at the "book map" for book 128 you can see that if we only did research for "Map 14" (where the property is located) we would have far too little data. Trying to establish the price by using all of the sales in Book 128 would give us way too much data. (just as a note: the "29" on the left side and the "28" on the right side are what are called "section numbers". Each section is equal to one square mile)

The correct answer is to print and look at the Book first - then to figure out which of the individual Maps need to be included in our analysis. In this case the answer is to include Maps 18 & 15 (16 could also be included if additional input needed). Notice that the numbers aren't all sequential which means that there is NO substitute for having and using the Book map. Without the Book map there is no valid method of asking a computer for the necessary information. We do this on every single listing before we even come to see your property.
All agents have access to the same data. All agents don't get the same results.
